"Finding the Next 'Da Vinci' Stocks:

How to Use Buffett's Guidance to Beat His Own Performance"



September 14, 2022 (Wednesday)

12:00 PM to 1:15 PM PDT

Zoom

In what area of the stock market can investors experience, literally, 1,000x investment returns?

What strategies do “Da Vinci stocks” employ from inception to growth to become the true market dominators?

Why does even Warren Buffett talk about the amazing returns of these companies, lamenting how he can’t buy them despite the opportunity where he would “guarantee” 50%+ annual returns per year?

This special event for CFA Society Portland, its members, and its affiliates will focus on how the greatest of investors and leadership teams recognize, analyze, and even build the world’s next “Da Vinci stocks.”

In this webinar, Professor Joel Litman will discuss the strategy, performance, and the valuations of how the greatest firms become so great—long before most of the world realizes it.

He will also discuss the reason why so many novice investors and the widespread financial media completely miss out on recognizing these firms in their early years, often even fearful of them.

The content in this discussion will be provided by Professor Litman as a keynote speaker at the National FBI Accounting and Forensics Conference.

That itself highlights an important aspect of these investments that cannot be overlooked.
